Ben White started his first game since leaving the England camp due to personal reasons. The 24-year-old has been brilliant for the Gunners at right-back and earned his call-up to Gareth Southgate’s side.
However, on November 30 the record-breaking Arsenal defender returned home, it was announced by the national team. It was confirmed that he was not expected to return and that his privacy is respected.
Despite the call, stories began to circulate about the reasons for his absence. Gareth Southgate quashed the suggestions in an England press conference saying he wanted to avoid giving any credibility to the rumours.
